Well, the end of my first official week in Sydney and it has been amazing! I have been to lectures, met with the Sydney Law School faculty, sat in Court and have heard a native litigant use the word 'Bonza' in court. Could life be better? Weather has not been amazing- a fair shed load of rain but an epic amount of sunshine in the inbetween periods and a weekend filled with sightseeing and a full 'cultural inauguration'. The benefits of living in a house with a native is seeing the true Sydney in all its glory in addition to the cool touristy stuff. I am as ever extremely impressed with the system over here- quick, expedient, cost-efficient and frankly ruthlessly effective. Dispensing with the formalities and getting to the nitty gritty of the dispute without counsel's intervention at the intake stage seems to be a constructive way of getting beyond the airing of dirty laundry and animosity which is so endemic to the family courts. Am off to spend some time in Sydney's Family Relationship Center this week, after court on Monday and Tuesday so hopefully I will have a more broad understanding of the key workings of the relationship between Australian litigation and mediation after that x
